sodium and oxygen
Usually, a metal and non metal combine and form an ionic bond. There are exceptions though, such as ammonium nitrate.
An ionic bond is formed with a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion). Therefore, you can combine a metal, let's say Potassium and a non metal, let's say Bromine. K+ + Br- --> KBr (Ionic bond)
Sodium oxide, Na2O is ionic. Metals and nonmetals usually combine by ionic bonding.
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
No, generally it is ionic.
They both combine elements chemically with one another.
The electrons get shared between the two elements, from the covalent bonds.
Usually, a metal and non metal combine and form an ionic bond. There are exceptions though, such as ammonium nitrate.
No, elemental Bromine or Br2 is not an ion
An ionic bond is formed with a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion). Therefore, you can combine a metal, let's say Potassium and a non metal, let's say Bromine. K+ + Br- --> KBr (Ionic bond)
ionic bond because Na is metal and F is non metal.
Ionic bond is specific for metal-nonmetal combinations.
Sodium oxide, Na2O is ionic. Metals and nonmetals usually combine by ionic bonding.
Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.
Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.
Ionic BondingElements can combine with other elements by ionic bonding, in which one atom gains one or more electrons, forming a negatively charged ion, and the other atom loses one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion. The oppositely charged ions combine by means of electrostatic attraction to form an ionic compound.Covalent BondingElements combine to form molecules by means of covalent bonding, in which the atoms of both elements share electrons in a covalent bond.
It is called an ionic bond
